What started as a small act of kindness between two women has grown into a successful online community with more than 40,000 members.
Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to do with anxiety following a hurricane, posting photos of her creations on a social media platform. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing positive messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread kindness.
"I just felt like today was the day to show some kindness, show some reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference," Cerve told *Florida Today*.
Finally, the two women decided to create a private online group called Brevard Rocks FL. To their surprise, within weeks, the group grew to 1,000 members, and today, it has an amazing 41,500 members, with more people joining every day.
The concept(概念) is simple yet powerful: members paint rocks with messages like "Be kind" "Spread kindness" and "Love", and then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel a strong sense of gratitude(感激), leading them to join the group ▲.
One of those touched by the movement is Coleen Carlson of Viera. During a very difficult time in her life, Carlson discovered a pink-painted rock with the word "Warrior(勇士)" on it outside a doughnut shop. The message encouraged her deeply.
"I burst into tears and knew the rock was meant just for me," she said. "I kept the rock for several years, until I had a friend going through a hard time too. I gave her the rock, and she cried with me."
This growing community shows the power of small acts of kindness. What started with a few painted rocks has turned into a movement that's lifting spirits and spreading love across Brevard County and beyond.
